setting taborder with designer's tab order tool

[bikkies]

hi - i have a custom control that holds multiple panels in it. each of these panels has a large number of controls on it. When I use the tab order tool in the designer I get the little glyph things so many times that i can't even see my controls underneath, because all 7/8 panels' controls are each getting an indicator.

is the a way i can make the designer only pick up the topmost panel for setting tab order.... or a property i can set on the non active panels to disable them from being picked up?

thanks,
chris

I'm not sure, but I suspect that the problem might be with the "Custom Control".
I have used the Tab Control that comes with VB.Net and have never had any problem setting the tab order when I have had several differen tab panels.

Maybe someone else will have a different idea, but what few "Custom Controls" I have used have usually given me some kind of problems.

Good Luck
